Tippy Lemmey

(2) 1-3 Ready-for-Chapters series. Illustrated by Susan Keeter. This easy chapter book features three friends and a seemingly invulnerable villain: the eponymous Tippy Lemmey, new dog in town and terror of the neighborhood. The 1951 small-town-Tennessee setting is evoked naturally through the action, which is constant. This is a terrific read-aloud, but why bother? Get Tippy Lemmey into one kid's hands and it will be a pass-it-on hit.
